Ok Sabres fans here is what is at stake Saturday night in Ottawa:
Ottawa has 94 points, and the Sabres have 93 points. But looking at the even BIGGER picture here is the overall NHL standings:
1. Carolina 45-15-6 96 points
2. Detroit 45-15-5 95 points
3. Ottawa 44-15-6 94 points
4. Buffalo 44-16-5 93 points
Dare we even dream of a President's Trophy title for the Buffalo Sabres?? Also, have the Sabres even won this award (most points overall in the NHL at season's end)
Another thing that fans have to remember when analyzing the Sabres...Kotalik is the team's top scorer (65 games 24G 29A 53 points) and some might say that the Sabres lack a big time scorer. No they do not.
Daniel Briere is on the verge of becoming a superstar in the NHL. His stats? (33 games, 19G 21A 40 points), he makes everyone around him better, and if DB did not get hurt, I bet he would have approx 70-75 points now.
What else can a Sabres fan say but wow?? This has been a season like none other that I can imagine (die hard fan since 1983)
LET"S GO SABRES!!!
